Original list of Windows 7 Compatible games by Pranjal is here, I updated the list with more games, Some games require some tweaking to make them work and some are totally incompatible with windows 7, if you come around such games, let us know in comments.

Hi
I have bioshock, assassin creed II, they used to work well in xp but when I changed to win 7 they are not at all working. Furthermore I cannot seem to play call of duty 4 also. How come you put all those in this list???? BTW what does the following mean dude “you can play most games by using Windows XP compatibility mode” Thnx…………

Hi
you can play almost all games in windows xp ultimate. just right click propertieson that games desktop icon and in compatibility tab check windows service pack 3. Thats all i can play almost all games in my dell optiplex 755 like prince of persia two thrones, mass effect 2,assassin creed II,Delta Force black hawk dawn, nfs carbon & most wanted, call of duty 4 modern war fare, hit man contracts demo etc………

Age of empires 3 is only compatible with one or more of the expansion packs don’t mater what one don’t no why but it works before expansion the I could get half way on a game and get a blue screen and my pc restarts.

just because it does work for you doesn’t mean it wont work for anyone else. windows 7 takes more ram then xp and games require ram. make sure your system doesn’t suck ass. and there are fixes for every game up there

You guys that couldn’t get the games to run on your Win 7 need to click right mouse on your game’s icon in desktop then click Run as Administrator. It should work that way. I had done the same with my NASCAR Thunder 2004 which was not on this list. It works fine on my Win 7.

I tryied to get alot of games to work and most of them dont work. Some microsoft games dont even work no matter what you do. And with all the games out there there . Out of all the hundreds of games the compat list is very small for windows7. What happened to the companys that use to test there products like windows7 for a long periods. now all company’s do is barely test it and hope it works. We are in the age of sloppy were companys making half ass products for high prices.
